Help!
I am interested in finding out the current state of the art in
"graphic programming langauges". These are langauges that use
graphics as the mode of writing programs, not langauges for programming
graphics.
I am interested in this area as a possible MS thesis topic.
In the August 1985 issue of IEEE Computer, an article by Georg Raeder
describes a number of issues in graphical programming techniques. He also
mentions some systems such as Omega at UC Berkley and his own PIP (programming
In Pictures) system.
Has anyone else had experience with this type of programming or with writing
graphical programming langauges? I am considering writing a graphical
programming langauge on the Macintosh, since graphics are easy to manipulate
on the Mac.
Any comments would be appreciated!!
Thanks in advance!! (from me, my thesis advisors, and my family [ who hope
I will graduate and make good use of my education someday!!]).
